Wow, Dave, five of ten posts belong to you. You really need to get away from your computer and out into the real world.
Infinite, they seem pretty literate to me (especially mine of course). That guy Carl who wrote “why” instead of “way” — he was probably commenting from an iphone and it auto “corrected.” I hate that.

No, landmarking just wants to make sure that you don’t destroy the aesthetics of the block with a Fiberama awning, a crappy door and a concrete faux stone finish
newsflash dave, your design aesthetics are just as cheesy. cast no stones, brother.

mea culpa, the letitia james lawsuit is outlined in the NY Post link.
Over 2 hours since initial post and STILL the BPP link is wrong!!!!
The comments on the NY Times hipster article makes me question adult literacy.
Councilwoman Letitia James has filed a personal injury suit against an itinerant laborer after she allegedly injured herself walking into his legally parked truck.
The Democratic lawmaker, who makes $122,500 a year as the people’s representative in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, is seeking an unspecified amount of damages for wounds she claims to have sustained on July 11 when she walked into a four-inch trailer hitch protruding from David Day’s parked car.

was expecting to see this story in the daily links.
An hour gone by since the Links thread is posted and STILL the link to Booze at BPP is wrong.
What exactly is it we are paying for here????????
